Very into: spicy tacos, cold beers, good jokes, and going on adventures with my husband and our two kiddos. Avoiding small talk since 1990.

Hi— I'm Belinda! But please call me Bel. Everyone does! In case you’re new around here, here are a few things that light me up:
Exploring, teaching and playing with my two toddlers Rowan and Maggie.
Cooking up a storm with my husband; tacos and beers at our place!
Empowering couples and families with beautiful photography that preserves their legacy.
A day hanging out with me would include a morning workout to get the endorphins flowing, washed down with a coffee or two! Some eggs on sourdough (Three Mills, please!) with all the sides. An adventure to a gallery, museum or national park evolves in to watching the sunset over the mountains. For dinner (& wines!) we haunt one of our cities many amazing restaurants, sharing stories in to the twilight.
I think my biggest strength is my warm-hearted approach to life. I enjoy sharing my positive energy and connection comes naturally with me. I can read a room, and I have a knack for making others feel like they belong. I love helping people to shine in front of my lens.
I've focused on my natural tendency to pay attention to the littlest things and mixing the magic of what could be with what is.
As a busy mother, I can truly appreciate just how precious and fleeting all of the tiny moments are that slip by in the everydayness. You know those moments that tug at the heart, the ‘close your eyes and remember-this-feeling-forever moments’?
These moments and the emotions they evoke in us, are what inspires me in my work.
I’m a Canberra gal, I’ve been based here since I was a kid. You could definitely say I’m a proud Ken Behren, I adore our little city and all of it’s hidden gems for photos.
When I’m not taking photos you might catch me cooking something delish (my speciality is comfort food; curries, pastas) or drinking some of my partners delicious beers (he’s a brewer of beers at Capital Brewing Co, lucky me!)
I’m a Bachelor qualified Graphic Designer majoring in Advertising. My professional work experience spans across multiple senior marketing roles, strengthening my photography career with a love for original thought and communication of the non-verbal form.
I began taking photos just for fun, a joyous past-time quickly became an absolute necessity in my life. Getting my break into professional photography shooting nightclub gigs and festivals, I found my true calling in portraiture.
Documenting people, life, joy, togetherness and love.
